Professional Teeth Scaling & Polishing in Eldoret

Tartar buildup and surface stains can undermine your oral health and dim your smile.

Performed by our hygienists using ultrasonic scalers and polishing prophylaxis cups, this quick outpatient procedure is the cornerstone of preventive dentistry.

What Is Teeth Scaling & Polishing?

Biomedical Services encompass all the diagnostic imaging, equipment calibration, and preventive maintenance tasks that support modern dentistry. Key components include:

  • Scaling:
    The removal of hardened plaque (calculus) and soft deposits above and below the gum line using ultrasonic and hand instruments.
  • Polishing: A finishing step where a rotating rubber cup or brush, combined with prophylaxis paste, smooths tooth surfaces to deter future plaque accumulation and remove surface stains.

Together, these steps restore gum health, reduce bad breath, and create a pristine surface that feels clean to the tongue.

Our Scaling & Polishing Process

  1. Oral Health Assessment
    ✔Gum Probing: Measure pocket depths to identify areas of inflammation.
    ✔Visual Exam: Check for stains, calculus deposits, and enamel integrity.
  2. Ultrasonic Scaling
    ✔ Sub‑ & Supra‑Gingival Debridement: Cavitron tip removes calculus gently, with continuous water spray to cool and flush debris.
    ✔Hand Instrumentation: Fine gracey and universal curettes refine root surfaces in deep pockets.
  3. Polishing
    ✔Prophylaxis Paste Application: Lightly abrasive paste removes surface stains.
    ✔Rubber Cup/Brush Polishing: Smooths enamel to a glossy finish, reducing future plaque adherence.
  4. Fluoride & Post‑Op Care
